Why the list of games for 'choice 1' includes only the games listed?.
Perhaps 'Omega Chess', 'Capablanca´s chess', 'Ultima' and/or
'Kinglet' should be included...Perhaps other games have credentials
enough for being included too..
Other games like Shogi, Korean and Chinese chess and Glisnky´s hexagonal
may be in the list too, but there is a philosophical question: are they
variants, or is FIDE CHESS also a variant of a meta-concept called
'chess' ?.
What are the decision rules for variants choice in list 1?. I don´t
disagree with the names in the list, but it may be incomplete for some
people...
